"I'm not disputing that, just, if you do that then I think you can't really fairly claim that he jumped you." 

"It was very impressive. One minute I was in his lap, the next minute I was pinned to the ground being ravished like the uke in a danmei ten minutes after the declaration of love."

Blinkblink.

OH right on the internet that word means a different thing than it does in a dojo. Okay that sentence makes much more sense now.

"That does indeed sound impressive."

"This is my room! See you later!"

"Bye, see you."

...if she were smart she'd have cabbage-goat-wolfed this so that she wouldn't be walking back alone. Oh well. Back to pick up Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng then.

Wen Ning is so gloriously relaxed that he's floating in a half-awake half-asleep state totally unaware of anything that is happening.

Jiang Cheng is singing Mandopop songs quietly to himself.

He has a Wei Ying! This is good and important. He loves his Wei Ying so much. He is going to gently pet his Wei Ying's fuzz and stroke his cheek. Jiang Cheng briefly tried to STEAL his Wei Ying but Lan Wangji shoved him and then there was NO Wei Ying theft.

lmao this is hilarious he is going to make fun of Lan Wangji so much tomorro

Yes, literally everyone in Shanghai is ridiculous, you cannot fight this you can only work around it, she knows.

"Alright! Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng, c'mon, let's get you back to your rooms now."

"I stay here with Wei Ying." He holds onto Wei Ying firmly.

"No, you do not, but Wei Wuxian is coming with us." 

"Come on, let him cuddle me a bit more, there's enough time until curfew."

Problem: if she lets them stay as long as they want because there's enough time left, there will very rapidly not be.

Problem part two: fighting this battle may very well take longer than just taking Jiang Cheng.

"...you get as long as it takes me to get Jiang Cheng to his room and then get back here."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Jiang Cheng stands up clumsily, but a well-practiced sort of clumsy, like someone who has been this kind of clumsy a lot and knows exactly how to compensate for it.

Once the door closes, he tells Ayako, "I love Yanli."

"I can see why, she's lovely."

Right, okay, she's been to Jiang Cheng's room, how does she get there from here, this way.

"I love her so much. She's so kind to everyone, and smart, and beautiful, and she always knows the right thing to say."

"She sounds... really good."

(Ayako has siblings, technically. She doesn't know them that well, the timelines just didn't really work out. She has Haruto and Rin and Hitomi instead, for older siblings, and the kids she tutored who will be her underclassmen in a few years for younger ones, and they're basically like what siblings seem to be to other people? Is that the same at all?)

"Her lotus root soup is so good. When we graduate you should come to Shanghai enclave and eat her soup."

"...I'm not supposed to make plans for after graduation." 

"Well, she can't make it here. --I miss her soup."

"I bet." 

He stumbles. "I love... Wei Ying."

She's right there if he needs help with balance, not that she particularly expects him to take her up on that. "I can tell. You guys are really sweet."
